24 Hours in Madrid
In this post I wanted to describe and share what I did the first 24 hours of my trip to Madrid. After everything that happened in this dat in madrid, I decided to write it and blog about it. As my trip conitnued I decided to continue and do the same for the rest of the cities in Europe that I had the opportunity to travel and spent time on.

Breakfast time
At around ~9:00 AM we had a traditional Spanish breakfast olive oil, bread, jamon iberrico, fresh tomatoes and coffee at a local cafe called Pancomido Café Zurbano, and we planned our Day out to them explore the city.
Daytime activities (10:00 AM - 6:00 PM)
We visited several of the main things I wanted to see in Madrid, such as, a local flee market, Puerta del Sol, Plaza Mayor, Gran Vía, and Barrio de La Latina. First stop was the local flee market.
Cafetín
Coffee break! Cafetin is a small and cozy cafe, were we had a cortado and it was really good. Maybe I should not have gotten that as it was quite hot the day off but me and my friend had a great time here.
